Photoshop Contest - $40. Fun and easy.

I need to change a skateboard on this image to a waveboard (or ripstik). I can either email you any of the waveboard photo from our website www.waveboardsale.com or you can use any image from the internet as long as it looks similar to what we are selling.
The first who can make the photo look realistic will get $40. http://www.waveboardsale.com/images/skin/top.jpg

P.S. I just noticed that attachment made the image quite blurry, please use the link instead to get the image http://www.waveboardsale.com/images/skin/top.jpg

 

My entry:


Feedpack is appreciated.

 

MY SHOT:

 

non of them looks real enough i am afraid. misterbadz is closer to it, but you still need to sort out his hand

 

Oscary, it just doesn't look like it belongs to him, maybe because of the hand penetrating the waveboard and the colour of the waveboard that is just too bright for the photo

 

Oscary I can see you are using image from the attachment instead of my link as it looks blurry. please get it from the link i posted

 

my try

 

revision as required on fb:

 

oter try

 

misterbadz, you have the closest image at the moment but there is still something wrong with the hand. it's supposed to hold the waveboar otherwise it wouldn't be possible to jump like that.

 

another retouch:

 

CandeGM, it's all too obvious that the waveboard has been added later on. all those white borders around the waveboard, too smoth foot contours etc. What i am looking is a real photo so most of the people couldn't say it;s been faked

 

here you go CH.. enhanced hand for grip:

 

another version

 

Another try

 

Thanks,
Ancitis

 

i can see some images are pretty close to be put on the website. i will wait for the next 24 hours to give some time if somebody else is working on this and then pick up one.
